Following Monolith's shock closure, GOG is offering 90% off its 2005 shooter FEAR and accelerating the game's preservation to recognise its doomed developer's 'contribution to gaming' (www.pcgamer.com)

FEAR I think is my favorite, although they have a crazy lineup. I even loved playing gruntz.

shadow of mordor was really good too, although fuck wb for preventing the one innovative part of it from being implemented in any game (other than the sequel), not repurposing it for batman which is such an obvious candidate, and also after finally giving us hope to see it again in the upcoming wonder woman game, shutting down the studio and canceling that too in the process.

seriously if the entirety of wb went down in flames I would celebrate its anniversary. fuck these vultures.

If I recall, a bandai namco patent stopped us from getting mini games during loading screens. Hell, if Nintendo had their way, we wouldn't have any sort of capture mechanic in anything other than pokemon.

It's not their fault. I mean fuck them, but it's really the fault of the patent offices that allow such horseshit.

also the best thing about the minigame patent is that it lasted just long enough for loading screens to become too short to justify coding minigames for the sole purpose of filling that time.
